- `Beit known that I, "JAMES HEJL`,a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Ovid, in

Yio

the county of Clinton and yState of Michi-` gan,'haveA invented certain new and useful Improvements -in -Ice- Cream Freezers, vof which the following isa specicatlon". o

This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in ice cream freezers. An object of the invention is to provlde an ice cream freezer including an inner and outer receptacle in.wh1ch thelnner recep tacle is adapted to be oscillated by hand'to cause the contents thereof to be agitated and' frozen byice and brine contained wlthln'f the .y outer receptacle.

A further vobject of the Vinvention isrto provide an ice cream freezer 1n which the inner container for thecream may be .os-

cillated by hand while the outer container` receives ice and brine withr an annular weight constituting a follower resting on .the ice to cause the saine to be tightly packed around and beneath the inner container.v

With these general objects in view and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement ofv parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated vin rthe accom- Ypanying drawings, and pointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawings forming a part of this application and in which like designating characters referto corresponding parts `throughout the several views -Figure 1 is a vertical cross-sectional view of an ice i cream'freezer built in accordance with the present invention, and, Fig. 2 is a top plan view thereof.

Briefly described, the present invention aims to provide an ice cream freezer that is extremely simple in construction and inexpensive to manufacture, the same including an inner and outer receptacle, with a support within the outerreceptacle upon which the inner receptacle is mounted. The sup- -port within the outer receptacle affords a space beneath` the inner'receptacle to accommodate ice which also is filled between the walls of the two receptacles and uponY Y which ice an annular weight or follower is positioned. The follower is provided with a plurality of perforations to permit the brine to rise above the same, thereby to cause the ice to betightly packed about the inner contamer. Y, Y Y

. Referring more in detailfto the. accompanying drawing, the reference numeral 5 indicates an outer receptacle of the form preferablyras shown',being ,cylindricalv in cross- Y fsectlon and mounted upon supporting feet.

6. A lifting bail 7 is secured to the upper end of the receptacle 5 by which the 'same may be transported as desired.

' The inner receptacle is designated 8 and kis of the same shape as the outer receptacle,

the same being seated upon a suitably formed stand 9 as shown in Fig. 1 including l horizontal supporting members and laterally projecting feet. Acover 10 including peripheral flanges is received on the upper end Vof the' container and frictionally engages the same and prevents the brine and ice contained 'within the outer receptacle from entering the inner receptacle, a handle 1l being carried by the-cover 10 and by which the inner receptacle 8 may be oscillated within the outer receptacle, relative movement of the receptacle 8 and cover 10 beingV prevented by the frictional contact` between the parts.

V As shown in Fig. l, ice is placed within the outer yreceptacle and is forced beneath the inner receptacle and is held in compact condition by the annular weight or follower yl2. The follower 12 is providedwith a plurality of perforations 13 to permit the vbrine resulting from the ice and salt to pass upwardly through the follower and surround the inner receptacle 8 asis shown. An overflow opening 14 is provided in the outery receptacle 5 adjacent the upper end thereof so that in case the brine rises to a height adjacent the upper end of the inner receptacle,*the same may readily flow therefrom, thereby to prevent the brine from entering the inner receptacle.

From the above detailed description of thel invention, it is believed that the operation thereof will be readily apparent, it being noted that the follower 12, being in the form of a weighted annulus resting on the ice, will force the ice into compact condition while the inner receptacle 8 is oscillated within the outer receptacle 5 and upon the support 9 by the cover handle 1l. The Vfollower v12 may be formed to meet certain requirements and as shown the same is of crescent shape in cross-section, better to presro `The combination with an, outer receptacle and lan 'inner receptacle movably mounted v 2 rising4 4ab ove fthev same. 1
